Hi and thanks for the feedback!

 

Tagging the $Conf{EMailAdminUserName} won’t work for me, the central 
smtp-server bounces it if I choose something else than a real existing mail 
address unfortunately.

 

I’ve been thinking about the headers a bit since posting, I’ll look into that 
for starters.

 

In the long run, making the subject line a configurable parameter sounds like a 
very good idea though!
Could you please?

administrative emails are coming (Was: BackupPC administrative attention needed)

 

Sorin,

 

Unfortunately the Subject field for admin emails is hardcoded.

 

However, $Conf{EMailAdminUserName} can be set and that is used for the "To" 
field.  Could you add some tag there that allows you to filter or distinguish 
the emails?

 

You can also set $Conf{EMailHeaders} to add additional headers, but I don't see 
a way in gmail to filter based on arbitrary headers.

 

Perhaps I should make that subject line a config parameter...

Craig

Hi all,

I only have the one support mail address and need a way to distinguish from 
which BPC-server the message is coming from.

Is there a way to add a tag to the subject line of the administrative emails 
from BackupPC, eg subject text "[BPC-12] BackupPC administrative attention 
needed"?

I see there is for
EMailNoBackupEverSubj
EMailNoBackupRecentSubj
EMailOutlookBackupSubj

But no obvious way for those general messages, unless I'm missing something 
here?
